Summary
  • The Spanish Golden Age saw an unprecedented rise in the production of autobiographical works. Even more so than present-day autobiographies, early modern manifestations of this genre are topics of lively debate, particularly about their generic affiliation and their unique place in literature. As a necessary basis for approaching these questions, this book retrieves and re-evaluates the antecedents of Golden Age autobiography and analyzes its literary and cultural facilitators.
  • With the precepts of genre established, this work proposes new perspectives on the nexus of autobiographical and fictional literature of the Siglo de Oro.
